Chris, in my opinion, the debate is not about top-down ~vs~ bottom-up
approaches. Instead, it's about occupation as the PRIMARY outcome
measure versus occupation as a secondary measure.
Occupation as a PRIMARY outcome measure implies that occupation is:
a. The reason for a referral
b. The determinant for identifying if OT is indicated
C. The STATED goal(s)
c. The measure of success/failure
Thanks,
